Highlander's Captive Highlander's Hope Highlander's Heart Highlander's Love Highlander's Desire There a certain tropes that I love so much that I actually hate almost every book with that trope because they're not done right. Usually when this comes up in conversation—and it does, often, because I host a bunch of writing shows—I'm talking about Secret … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Called By A Highlander (or, the problem with Time Travel)
Book Recommendation: Shadow Beast Shifters
Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 1) Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 2) I'm always apprehensive of Jaymin Eve.

I only post recommendations, and I only have time in my life to write … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Gift of the Beast
Book Review: The Pirate Lord by Catherine Lloyd
I'm currently working on a story that is partly set at sea. It's not a huge part, and I grew up on boats so it's not an unfamiliar setting, but I'm struggling on writing a squall that nearly capsizes the ship. It's not the mechanics I'm having an issue with so much as the pacing, … Continue reading Book Review: The Pirate Lord by Catherine Lloyd
